A body was found up the street from me in a meadow. No one will know if it's her until they identify the body. Many people know I live in Reno where she has been missing from and we have been following the story closely. I hope it's not her but many are saying it may be.

The police task force is out there right now examining the scene. When I know more I'll let you know. If you don't know who I'm talking about you can google her name. It's made national news and her mom was just on Good Morning America or some morning show.

My heart goes out to the family who are waiting to know.

I live in Florida, but I've been following the story as well. They may know today or tomorrow if it is her. It's a tragedy whether it is her or not.

Wasn't there another young woman that went missing previously that has still not been found?

It is her.

RIP, Darlin'.

I can't believe that sicko dropped off her body two blocks from where I live.

Oh, no. Seriously, Terri? I just read an article about her in the new PEOPLE a couple hours ago. How heartbreaking and surreal.

My prayers to her friends and family, and everyone in your area.

It's pretty creepy. Just two blocks from my where I live. My husband didn't let the kids out to play all day. Tomorrow we're taking them to a park to play. I'm right off the main road that runs through Reno, so the perp didn't look too hard for a place to dump her. With all the mountains around and the rural roads, I'm suspicious as to why he chose a meadow out by us. I truly hope he doesn't live near by. The Feds think the perp is related to another rape here in town, at the college (UNR).

Oh my goodness. I can't imagine how you're feeling. A mixture of things, I'm sure. I pray this guy will be found, and soon. It sounds like, from what I read, efforts are being made to speed up the DNA identification testing.

I'm so sorry for her family.

Her poor mom.

I just don't understand how someone can do something like that, and it seems as if our society is spitting more of them out every year.

That's true, Terran. I know it's not just women going missing, but it seems nearly every day we here of another one vanished. Or we hear of someone like Bobby Cutts, who murdered the mother of his child and his unborn baby girl. That guy really gets me because he was in a position of authority-a cop.

Well, my thoughts and prayers are with Brianna's family and friends. (Lights a candle in the window.)

This stuff just makes me sick to my stomach, I have two daughters living together in California, and I must sound like an old badger the way I warn them time after time that you have to be so aware of the people you are with and the things that are going on around you because there are so many bad guys out there that want to do you harm if they get a chance. Kids, and especially girls seem to think that they're immune to this stuff and that it will never happen to them. Sorry terri that it's coming so close to you. I know its no consolation but 5 miles from my house is the Lane bryant store where some idiot blew away 5 woman a week ago and about 20 miles from the school shooting at the Northern campus over the weekend. I'm thinking about moving to Iraq, if I have to live in a war zone anyway.

I'm going to her makeshift memorial today and take her a little stuffed amimal that says a prayer.

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. The angels watch me through the night, until I wake in mornings light."

I'll take a picture and post it.

Don't know who this is. There are so many missing persons, it's hard to keep track of them all.

May she rest in peace.

I seem to be at my most-emotional the last few days, but I feel like crying for Brianna and her family. So sad.

It doesn't make losses any better, but we have to remember: without bad there would be no good.

It was so sad. There are lots of blue balloons and blue ribbons hanging around. There's a cross and some rose pedals spread over where she was lying. I'll post the pictures soon.

DNA has confirmed that this is the same guy who has been raping women in Reno. Now he's graduated to murder.

I know. I was thinking the same thing. What will he do next if he isn't caught. He's on a roll with one woman a month.

Getting ready to post the pics...

Bri in a photo before they discovered her in this meadow. Now all the signs will be changed to "Bring Brianna Home" to "Bring Brianna Justice." Bri's cousin is in the back ground handing out blue ribbons.

What a gorgeous girl. And what a sad, sad loss.

She was right there, in that spot out in the open? Oh, he wants to get caught. And he will. HE WILL.

Yes and day before yesterday the police announced they had recovered a pair of panties that didn't belong to Bri at the scene.

Now the guy is playing with them. The panties had the perp's DNA and another woman's.

That's weird. No one has come forward to say whose they were. Then last night another woman came forward to say she was attacked from behind late at night by UNR. He groped her and when she started to fight back he ran away. If it's him (she couldn't make an ID) he's getting bolder and bolder every time he gets a hold of a woman.

Bri was asleep on a couch at a friends house when the perp came in through the sliding glass door and then believed to have strangled her and take her from the house.

Lock all doors and windows at night, gals! Many perps come in through open doors and windows.
